This 120-pound Alien Costume Was Made From Household Items [Cosplay]

The Xenomorph from Alien is unquestionably scary, but do you know how it could be scarier? Two words: mechanized Xenomorph. I’m shaking in my space boots as we speak.

Professional cosplayer Peter Kokis created what he calls the “Brooklyn Alien.” It’s basically a mecha-like Xenomorph suit that he made from everyday objects. For example, he ended up using a variety of household items like knife sharpeners, toilet plungers and drain mats, and it took him 16 months to gather up everything he needed. The suit itself took about 400 hours to assemble, and it weighs about 120 pounds.
